<p>
	I came across <a href="/en/URI_research/ccTLDs.xhtml#fm">dotFM</a>, the registry in charge of managing the <code>//fm.</code> name space.
	Their account registration form required that the telephone number and fax number fields be filled, but they accepted &quot;no telephone number available&quot; and &quot;no fax number available&quot;, respectively.
	I thought that this registry presented a great opportunity because they, in addition to registering names in the <code>//fm.</code> name space, also register names in the <code>//am.</code>, <code>//tv.</code>, <code>//com.</code>, <code>//net.</code>, and <code>//org.</code> name spaces.
	I thought that this registry offered a way to register without having telephone service, but it turns out I got my hopes up for nothing.
	The domain registration form checks for more than that field being filled, so registering without a telephone number does not work.

<p>
	I came up with a plan for dealing with people and companies that insist that one give them one&apos;s telephone number: get a premium-rate number, so thay have to pay you to call you! However, I tried looking into how to set up such a line and it seems that <a href="https://paypercall.com/phone.html">premium-rate telephone numbers</a> have been discontinues in the United States.
	This is quite disappointing, but it doesn&apos;t leave me any worse off than I was yesterday.
</p>
<p>
	One of today&apos;s reasonable registry is that of <a href="/en/URI_research/ccTLDs.xhtml#gp">Guadeloupe</a> They don&apos;t allow you to leave the telephone number field blank, but they do allow you to use the string &quot;no telephone number available&quot; in that slot.
	They supposedly send you an email with the next step of registration, but I&apos;m still waiting for that email.
	The other is that of the <a href="/en/URI_research/ccTLDs.xhtml#hm">Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands</a>.
	This registry doesn&apos;t even ask for a telephone number.
</p>
<p>
	My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
